Call of Duty Ghosts: quick-scoping may be gone completely, says Rubin

4.4
Call of Duty: Ghosts may not included quick-scoping, according to Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin. That’s either a huge relief or reason for concern, depending on which side of the one-shot fence you sit.

Speaking on Twitter at the weekend, Rubin penned a statement on the matter to fans:

Update/Clarification regarding Sniper Rifles:

One of the areas that is getting lot of love in Call of Duty: Ghosts is the Sniper Rifle. By creating the Marksman class we were able to focus the Sniper class on really powerful high-caliber weapon systems. We feel, and many of the pro players who have played would agree, that sniping has never been better.

The changes we’ve made, like dual render scopes and increased damage really make snipers a great competitive class to use. We’ve also done a lot with map design (sight lines and cover) to ensure that all classes are viably effective. Both short range and long range classes will be effective on the same maps.

However in re-envisioning sniper rifles some aspects, such as sway timing, have changed the way sniper rifles function and so traditional “quick-scoping” has been affected. Is it gone completely? Maybe. It certainly won’t be viable in the way it previously was. Can’t wait for you snipers out there to get your hands on these new sniper rifles and try them out for yourselves.

See you in game!
-Mark

Personally, sniper rifles are powerful because they demand skill at long range. That’s where the balancing kicks in. Using a sniper rifle to the same effect at point blank range is a balance-breaker in my book, but then again everyone’s different so there’s no right or wrong answers here.

That said, what do you feel about the possibility of quick-scoping disappearing? Let us know below.

-T- Seriously not even going to buy this game if quickscoping isnt possible anymore.
I will flip out.
Quickscoping opened up a whole new world to COD and the COD community.
For them to take that away is a total ******* move.
I will NOT get this game if you cant quickscope i swear.


Good. The game sucks anyways. I'm glad they are removing quickscoping, it's such a ***** move to be playing Search and Destroy and getting one-shotted from 4 feet away.


Well it is kind of your fault for not killing a sniper when you have a machine gun... You know, kind of easy to kill them still.



I hope there are more people like you, I don't want 10 year old "pros" in the game. So I hope you stand true to your word and leave the game on the shelf. And a machine gun still takes 4-6 bullets in the chest at close range to kill, a sniper takes one. How is it the machine gunners fault for not killing the sniper?


Machine gun should be 2-3 headshots... get to it. Get the jump on the sniper and it normally throws the aim off. If you can't get the jump on a sniper then you deserve to die.

Also what's the different between it being a sniper or a shotgun from 4 feet away? Either way you're getting one shot killed if you get hit.


I'll stick to playing ArmA, Where the snipers are ****, the riflemen are cannon fodder, and the pilots are gods.

I always make those pro wannabe snipers rage quit when I shotgun them :)

Close range: Shotgun > Intervention.

Brad- Really hope this is true - when you're in a gunfight with a sniper, you will win 90% of the time, but that 10% they really don't deserve to get the kill; it is really frustrating because especially when you're close to scorestreaks and you get a death that you shouldn't have and that you should've got a kill for


How so? Snipers that are mainly used for quickscoping are bolt action and slow fire. You on the other hand will have an automatic gun spraying them down. Unless the sniper is very good, you will win the gun fight.

I agree but then again I disagree. I think it should remain in the game.

Quickscoping, they tried to take it away or nerf it really badly ever since MW2. I think it just got better and better each year.

codeleaker quikscoping is unrealistic so,i want you to see you do it in real life...you would fail.....i love they are removing quikscoping so we can play like real life combat!


Dude it's cod. You literally have perks to do random things like take less explosive damage, do more bullet damage, take no falling damage or even see through walls for explosives. Cod is about non-realistic, fast action game play. If you want realistic, go play Battlefield 1,2 or 3. Both Cod and Battlefield are great games.
